Chapter 80 Escape
This place doesn’t even have any antique calligraphy or paintings, or even a box made of precious wood.
Song Wei didn't have the intention of finding a bargain. She fumbled through the piles of books and newspapers, and finally tied up a pile of clean old newspapers and found a few books.
She was lucky enough to find a few books on Chinese herbal medicine that were gathering dust here.
The other basic books are Chinese and mathematics books from elementary school to junior high school, which she prepared for Heidan.
At this age, it’s time for Xiao Heidan to learn to read.
After they tied up the things and carried them out, the old man guarding the scrap yard walked up slowly and took a look.
"Just give me sixty cents."
Song Wei gave him the money directly, looked very well-behaved, thanked the old man, and left.
Now that we are here, let’s go to the black market.
Song Wei went to the black market for a stroll and bought three pairs of socks, three pounds of cotton and a dozen eggs. Just as he was about to see if there was anyone selling food, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the black market.
"The speculators are here, run!"
A man shouted in a deep voice, and the experienced ones immediately packed up their things and ran away.
Those who had little experience were obviously panicking, and some even ran around without picking up their belongings.
Song Wei also ran, and from behind he heard voices of scolding for catching speculators.
She was very fast, but she was unlucky as she ran into a group of people who were waiting for their chance.
"stop!"
There were a few people running towards this side with Song Wei. When they saw those people, they immediately turned around and ran back.
Song Wei blinked his eyes, took a deep breath and jumped. Even though he was carrying something on his back, his body was as agile as a monkey and he climbed up the wall in a few steps. Then he slipped away in front of the stunned crowd.
What a joke! I have been working hard in the apocalypse for so long, but I lose if you catch me.
After climbing over the wall, Song Wei took off his disguise while running, and finally walked out of an alley with slow steps, as if the thrilling scene just now did not exist at all.
She went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, rushed in and squeezed in with the ladies to snatch things. She bought thick cloth to make shoes for herself and Heidan, and also bought some wool balls and some cakes.
When he was squeezing out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he happened to run into those people who were catching speculators everywhere.
One of them made eye contact with Song Wei, and Song Wei looked at him openly without any evasion, but the other party looked away after a moment and did not come forward to grab Song Wei to ask anything.
After all...she just came out of the supply and marketing cooperative~
With brisk steps, Song Wei went to the state-owned restaurant again.
"Sister, what dishes do you have today?"
Song Wei approached a waitress and secretly stuffed two pieces of egg cake into her hands, which she had just bought.
The aunt looked at the egg cake in her hand, and was so happy to be called "sister" by a little girl like Song Wei.
"You came at the perfect time. We still have a few fried dumpling dumplings left to sell. Today's meat dish is stewed beef. The day before yesterday, a cow from the XX Brigade accidentally fell to death. The chef of our state-owned restaurant used his connections to buy half a cow. You came at the perfect time today..."
Song Wei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Thank you, sister, can you do me a favor..."
Song Wei stuffed a piece of egg cake and some candies into the aunt's hand, and asked the aunt to buy her some fried dough buns, some steamed buns and a portion of beef stew using her relationship as an internal employee.
There are really too many people waiting for their food to be served. I guess many people have received the message and are waiting here today.
Song Wei was afraid that the meat would be gone by the time it was her turn.
The aunt got three pieces of egg cakes and candies. As Song Wei was sweet-mouthed, it would be much easier for her, an internal employee, to serve the food, so she was happy to help.
The two of them completed the transaction stealthily in a remote and deserted corner. Song Wei thanked the elder sister again and left.
When I walked to the door, I keenly heard a voice of regret and loss coming from inside.
No more beef stew!
Song Wei ran faster and almost missed the stew! Sitting on the ox cart, Song Wei stuffed a big, soft white steamed bun into the cart driver's pocket as before.
The old man was so happy that his gap teeth were exposed and the wrinkles on his face became much deeper.
"I'm so sorry, these steamed buns are not cheap."
Song smiled and said, "Uncle, I'll use the steamed buns as my fare."
The coachman nodded happily: "Okay, then I am taking advantage of you, Song Zhiqing, this steamed bun is really sweet."
A round trip on the bus only costs a few cents, but these white flour buns are not cheap.
All the strange people in the car stared at the old man with envy and jealousy, and their gazes were so fixed that they seemed to want to snatch the steamed buns away directly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They were reluctant to use such good flour to make white steamed buns.
"Song Zhiqing, you are really rich."
Song Weixiao smiled shyly: "No, no, I have a brother who is a soldier~"
As soon as she said this, more envious eyes looked over.
In this day and age, soldiers are highly respected and it is a very noble profession.
There was also a soldier in the village, Heidan's brother, but Lin Zhen had not returned for several years since he joined the army. If he hadn't sent money back every year, rumors would have spread in the village that Lin Zhen had died.
Speaking of sending allowances, the Song family far away in Hai City...
I have asked several times and confirmed that Song Jing has not sent anything home so far. My family is furious.
"That rebellious son!"
Song's father was furious and scolded Song Jing over and over again.
The woman next to him said she was trying to soothe him, but she was actually trying to sow discord between them.
"Why did Song Jing suddenly stop sending money home? Do you think it's Weiwei's fault? It's my fault too. Weiwei probably hates me so much that she wrote something to her brother. If only..."
"Dad, Mom, if you want to blame someone for this, blame me."
A girl about the same age as Song Wei had red eyes and her tone was full of self-blame.
"If I hadn't taken over her job, I might have been the one sent to the countryside. She has reason to hate me, but I don't know what she said to my eldest brother. Will my eldest brother misunderstand us and ignore our family members in the future?"
"How dare he! These two evil bastards never give me peace of mind. I'm going to write them a letter and ask them to apologize!"
After Song's father left, the expressions of the mother and daughter suddenly changed. They no longer looked sad and self-blaming as before.
"I didn't expect that little bitch Song Wei to be so fast."
Song Wei's stepmother's eyes were full of reluctance and heartache. That was ten yuan! The young girl Song Tian was also very unwilling. Without the ten yuan sent back by Song Jing every month, their family's living standards would have to decline.
After all, drinking water in this city costs money.
However, Song Tian felt much better when she thought that Song Wei must be suffering in the countryside now.
